The extended plant shutdown, if confirmed by GM, certainly not welcome news for any of us.
My situation: The warranty on my current car runs out in May 2022. Ideally I wanted a replacement/C8 as soon as the warranty runs out and I was second guessing if I started the C8 process too early, but I am not regretting that decision now.

Well now its a 4 week shutdown per Rick Conti. Should give NCM plenty of time to get caught up by then. Sigh.
I get that they ran out of parts, or whatever. But didn't GM know that 2 weeks ago? Why bother saying we're closing for 1 week, when that wasn't even close to being true - only to close for a month?
#3000forever.

I am actually counting it as a 5 week shutdown if Rick is correct. BGA will down for 5 of 6 weeks. I am still going to be patient and see if this is confirmed or not. If it does turn out to be true the shutdowns in 21 will be getting very close to the same number of days lost in 20.

Let’s hope. I think us waiters are due for some good luck.

While all the official GM spokespersons are like most enjoying the Memorial Day weekend, what I preliminarily heard back is that BGA is re-opening on Monday, June 7th. I will keep digging; hope to reach a official GM spokesperson but again with this being a special weekend…

I like some of the content he provides but since he has his C8, he has been providing less content on the supply side, and I thought the video today was ridiculous. I would prefer less click bait and more substance. Anyway, I hope he's wrong, I also wish he would have given it more than 5 seconds rather glossing over it, if true, it's huge breaking news. None we want to hear, but he hasn't seemed to want to share or go into the "hard stuff" since getting his.

The rumor that the plant is closed until June 21 is absolutely false. In a week, you'll know my statement is correct.
